Narrative

An employee performing maintenance on a forklift was removing the hydraulic cylinder from the mast, which was elevated on spacer blocks. When the cylinder was removed, it struck the spacer block, causing the inside rail to lower. The employee's left hand was pinned between the inside and outside rails of the forklift, resulting in a crush injury and a laceration between the knuckles and wrist.
